Holy Spirit, we pray for You to be with teachers everywhere who are responsible for our children's education. Put Your righteousness in their hearts and Your words on their lips to share with the children in their daily care.

Some safety issues have been brought to my attention and I will be addressing these issues with the faculty and staff immediately.

Thank you for working together with me to
ensure the safety of our community.

The annual Spring Soiree and Hall of Fame in-person event will be held on May 13th 
at the Flourtown Country Club.

Ticket sales will start the week of March 21st.

You will receive an email from your Homeroom Parent about your child(ren)'s class basket(s).
Class baskets are always big sellers!


The Spring Soiree is the Home and School Association’s biggest fundraiser.

The 2022 goal is to raise $15,000 to support OMC.

We’re hoping to increase the overall number of items included in the online auction and to provide many different price points for participation.

Please see our guide on
for all the ways you can help make this year’s auction a success.

In addition to planning community activities, HSA provides financial support to the school for improvements to academics and physical space.

For example, this year the HSA will pay for two lower grade teachers to be certified in Orton-Gillingham multi-sensory literacy support. This curriculum will be a substantial enhancement to OMC’s early literacy program, and will benefit all students by bringing additional literacy strategies and approaches to the faculty. We are hoping for a successful Soiree to provide financial support to additional academic and infrastructure projects. Thank you for your help in making the 2022 Soiree and Online Auction a success!
